More quotes by Steve Buscemi
Bob Altman had this relaxed but serious attitude. Everybody loved him. I wanted him to adopt me.
Steve Buscemi
Every day's an adventure when I step out of my door. That's why I usually wear a hat and keep my head low.
Steve Buscemi
I suppose things are better now, but ... I don't know. People still hate each other, they just know how to hide it better.

I always find that it's when a script is not detailed, then I have to do more work as an actor.
Steve Buscemi

Nothing's really changed for me over the years. I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that. Relationships are interesting to me. Not just between men and women but fathers and sons, brothers and sisters and friends.
Steve Buscemi
I don't blame any director for wanting to do something more commercial. That's all part of the business. I certainly have done it, as an actor.
Steve Buscemi
Just because people want to eat the burger doesn't mean they want to meet the cow.
Steve Buscemi

Steve Buscemi
I hope I don't make it sound like it's this big to-do, but even putting on real cufflinks takes work.
Steve Buscemi
I think all comics borrow from each other. Only a few have an original voice, and I wasn't one of them. In the end, I couldn't figure out who to steal from, so I stopped doing it.
Steve Buscemi
I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin.
Steve Buscemi
I like character-driven stuff. It doesn't matter, the size of the part.
Steve Buscemi
Casting is everything. Getting the person that you imagined is this character and then seeing what they bring to it.That's why you hire them, so why tell somebody first what it is you want? I'm more curious to see what they bring to it and then be inspired by it and say: OK, what if you tried this? or What would happen if ... ?
Steve Buscemi
Communication is the key, and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to the actors. I was so involved with the visual and technical aspects that I would forget about the actors.
